The first four NBL semi-final matches couldn't have been more entertaining, exciting and dramatic leading into a monster Thursday night of Game 3 finals basketball, so as a result it's a massive Hoops Heaven's Basketball Hustle with what happened on the court just the beginning of the discussion points.
Basketball Writer Chris Pike and The Scoring Machine Shawn Redhage look back on the opening two games of each of the two NBL semi-final series to start things off, the Perth Wildcats against the Cairns Taipans, and Sydney Kings against Melbourne United.
Discussion then turns to a dramatic last Friday starting with the blow up at the Adelaide 36ers with outgoing coach Joey Wright and disgruntled players led by captain Kevin White. Shawn, as a former NBL captain and four-time championship winner, offers some unique insight into the whole affair.
Shawn also spent a season playing in Tasmania when he first came to Australia so offers some things on the NBL's new team announcement being based in the Apple Isle.
There's then a full preview and predictions for the monster Thursday night of Game 3 NBL semi-final action.
